“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 KJV
This is the promise Jesus gave to His disciples that the Holy Spirit will come upon them, and they will be seized with power. They will be His messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces —even to the remotest places on earth! This promise of the risen Christ is available even today, and we, His disciples witness to it that when the Holy Spirit empowers us, we proclaim Christ even in the midst of severe trials. It is to be wondered at, that when Christians face death by martyrdom, they’re still willing to witness to the risen Christ. History is replete with such witnesses for the living Lord Jesus Christ, in every nation. The power of the Holy Spirit is real for those who believe in the resurrected Christ to live the life endued with power from on high. As those who have come into the Kingdom of God, let’s be overcomes by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our testimony and let’s triumph because we do not love and cling to our own lives, even when faced with death. Hallelujah to the Lamb!
